HBO电影频道投拍新片《选票风波》(Recount),回顾了2000年美国总统大选阶段闹得天翻地覆的佛州计票风波。 影片剧本由曾出演《奔腾年代》和《欢乐谷》的演员丹尼·斯特朗创作,故事从选举日当天发生的事说起,讲到五周后佛罗里达州最高法院做出裁决,回顾发生在佛州的这场计票风波。据HBO高层表示,影片的重点将落在渗透于新闻事件中的“人性”上。《选票风波》定于08年春季美国总统大选高潮期在HBO电视台播出。HBO电影频道高层科林·卡伦德表示,除了政客、投票人等,影片还将聚焦那场事件中的很多小人物,“男人、女人、丈夫、妻子……所有那些不由自主卷入那场事件的人。” 反映美国2000年大选内幕的电视电影《Recount》主演名单日前公布,凭《美国丽人》一夺奥斯卡影帝的凯文·斯派西将在片中扮演副总统戈尔的幕僚,《皇牌大间谍》导演则接任西德尼·波拉克执导此片。 凯文斯派西曾一度被“小金人后反应”困扰,像哈利·贝瑞一样,这位表演技艺稳健,擅长驾御各种性格人物的演技派在得奖后就一直没接过配得上影帝称号的好角色,《Recount》一片让人看到他翻身的曙光,斯派西在片中将扮演戈尔总统的副参谋长荣·克莱因(Ron Klain),他也是协助戈尔针对当年投票结果对佛罗里达州征服提出诉讼的法律顾问。 2000年大选是美国历史上最有争议的大选。虽然民主党候选人阿尔·戈尔在普选中领先,但是计票结果却显示共和党人乔治·沃克·布什以微弱优势获得了选举人票的多数。民主党对佛罗里达州的计票工作提出质疑,要求对有争议的选票重新计数。最后,美国最高法院判定布什赢得佛州选举,从而也赢得了大选。 大选结束后不久,著名导演西德尼·波拉克应美国HBO有线电视公司邀请,着手拍摄一部描述这场选举的影片。但前不久老导演以病痛为由辞去导演一职,现在由拍过《皇牌大间谍》的杰伊·罗奇接手。加盟主演阵容的还有怪才导演大卫·林奇的御用女主角劳拉·邓恩,她扮演的凯瑟琳·哈里斯(Katherine Harris)时任佛罗里达州州务卿,就是她运用手中权利为布什在争议中争得胜利。老演员约翰·赫特将扮演美国前国务卿沃伦·克里斯托弗(Warren Christopher)。 “怎么叫做政治家?政治家就是找有钱的人要钱,找穷人要选票。就是让有钱人和穷人都相信自己会维护他们的利益。”——美国一位幽默大师如是说。 Recount, recount, recount......, Too close to call, too close to call,...... 2000年12月13日晚上8时,民主党总统候选人戈尔在华盛顿的副总统官邸发表输诚演说,美国历史上持续事件最长的总统大选在一连串的重新计票声中,以极具争议的数百票之差落下了帷幕。一些时事评论家认为,克林顿总统抢走了一个古巴小男孩,失去了迈阿密的西裔铁票,使得民主党在势均力敌的总统大选中痛失江山。“关键的少数”在关键时刻扮演了关键角色。

Having witnessed his junkie father killed Russell Stevens grows up to become a policeman and make a difference. When he is offered an undercover job by Gerald Carver he accepts and begins to build a relationship with David Jason in order to get to the main dealers. However as he is forced to deal drugs and kill to keep his cover he finds the lines between cop and criminal being lost – is he a cop pretending to be a dealer or a dealer pretending to be a cop Larry (as he was then) Fishburne's first lead role was a typically dark vehicle. The story is the usual one of cop losing himself when undercover, however it manages to be more than that for most of the time. Co-written by Tolkin, who wrote The Player, this naturally has a nice cynical edge to it when it looks at the US's hypocritical approach to drug control and the political links between the street hustlers and the political high rollers who court respectability. The story does eventually settle into a traditional setting but even then it works well as a thriller. The multi-talented Bill Duke directs well with a gritty feel and a few nice touches. However several things are a bit iffy. For most of the film Fishburne's narrationvoice over is a bit like a cross between Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner – it comes across as a little too dark and heavy and also explains things like we can't figure it out ourselves. However once you get into the film it's not as big a deal. My main problem lies with the characters. Fishburne is excellent, a real model of underlying anger and violence, Goldblum is good but perhaps a little OTT on the yuppieviolence thing, but there's good support from Smith and Spin City's beautiful (and often underused – but not here) Victoria Dillard. However the two main white characters (Goldblum and Smith) are both smeared with racist insinuations – Smith appears to insult his black officers and doesn't care about the junkies, while Goldblum is fascinated about all things black and talks about them as wild beautiful beasts and loves having sex with black'. These things aren't a major problem, but with basically only two white characters in it, it's a little worrying that both are given that edge. However these are minor complaints that get lost with a good thriller. Fishburne excels and Duke delivers a story that is a good thriller but also has a jaded, subversive edge.
